R-Type Leo

R-Type Leo ( Aru Taipu Reo) is a 1992 horizontally scrolling shooter arcade game developed by Nanao and published by Irem. R-Type Leo is also the last R-Type game to be released in the arcades, as subsequent games were created for consoles. It was also never ported to any consoles, and only received consumer release in Dotemu’s Irem Arcade Hits pack for Windows computers, published in 2013. It’s a straight emulation, but the packed-in emulator isn’t as solid as MAME. Released only in arcades, R-Type Leo deviates from the normal R-Type style by removing the use of both the Force and the Wave Cannon. The new weapons are Force Bits (later identified in R-Type Final as "Psy Bits") which carry similar firepower to the main ship.
